title: Sero-genetic studies on the Basters of Rehoboth, South West Africa/Namibia.
abstract: The Basters of Rehoboth in South West Africa/Namibia arose by hybridization between Caucasoids and Khoi ('Hottentots') in the northern Cape Province of South Africa during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, followed by migration of a single well-defined party to Rehoboth and the consolidation of an ethnocentric nation there. Although there has been some gene flow into the population during the twentieth century, the present sero-genetic study contributes further evidence for the hypothesis of Fisher (1913) that each ancestral strain had furnished an equal contribution to the population.
